What does “conditional” and “provisional” status mean?

A conditional student is completing his/her undergraduate degree at the time of application. Such applicants must be in their final semester of study and must have completed at least 97 credits prior to applying. We can admit these applicants under the condition that they submit their final, official transcript showing degree conferral from their undergraduate institution prior to registering for their second semester of study. A provisional student is one who does not fulfill the academic requirements for admission as a degree candidate, but if they complete specific prerequisite coursework and/or take a specific number of courses and complete them successfully, they can later be admitted as a degree student. The Admissions Committee determines which applicants are provisional. This information is expressed in the admission letter.
